Ooh, another Pimpernel fan! I'm not allowed to post pictures of myself online so as not to blind the internet with my sublime radiance, but I'll describe it. I got most of the pieces from thrift shops and my mom's closet:
*Very ruffly red blouse that looked a bit like this, except it buttoned all the way up to the neck and was even rufflier:
*Tight white baseball pants that looked a lot like breeches when tucked into shiny grey boots knee-high boots
*Long grey overcoat cut in the late 1700's style
*Grey pinstriped waistcoat
*Grey top hat with a red flower on it
*Fancy cane with a fake diamond on top.
*White gloves and a ring with a red flower on it.
My best friend was Chauvelin, so she dressed as a typical sans-culotte, with a tricorner hat and a tricolour cockade, and a rougher all-black outfit. My sister was Marguerite, so she wore a dark pink satin dress that we remodeled to have a huge hoop skirt, had elaborately curled hair, and a pink parasol. And my brother was the Marquis St. Cyr (guy in a grey powdered wig with his head in a fake guillotine made of cardboard).
In my pants, she has burst like the music of angels, the light of the sun! --Marius Pantsmercy
